11/21/2020 - Columbia River, Henry J. Kaiser Shipyard Memorial, Vancouver, WA

Time: 3 hours

Distance: 8.86 miles

We put into the Columbia River at the Kaiser Shipyard Memorial on a foggy but calm morning. We paddled up-river just past the I205 Bridge before turning back. The fog was with us most of the day only clearing up just before we got out. The water remained calm for around the first hour then became choppy with up to one foot swells. We turned back at the 2 hour mark and it took exactly and hour to make the return trip.
